This Is How The Rich Live! Inside Serena Williams' Lavish New Digs

Serena Williams is moving pads in Los Angeles.

Just days after listing her longtime home in Bel-Air, the 36-year-old tennis star snapped up a new home in a gated community just a few miles east in the just-as-luxe neighborhood of Beverly Hills.

The 6,000-square-foot home has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and dramatic views of the city.

It's a big time in the tennis star's life. Serena Williams is set to marry fiancé Alex Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, soon. Last month, she gave birth to her first child, daughter Alexis Ohanian Jr.

Serena Williams new home has five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The exterior is in a Spanish style common in southern California, but the inside is purely contemporary.

The huge open kitchen is decked out with state-of-the-art appliances, custom cabinets and marble countertops.

When the home was staged for pictures, it was decorated in light grays and browns with accents of black. The white walls throughout the home make for a light and airy atmosphere that's perfect for the southern California climate.

The outdoor living space includes a dining area with a built-in barbecue and refrigerator that can be used all year round in the California sunshine.

There's even a small pool where Serena and Co can chill out on particularly hot days. Perhaps it will be the pool where little Alexis learns to swim.

The home has views of both the city of Los Angeles to the south and the San Fernando Valley to the north.

It's unclear how often Serena Williams will use her new home. Her primary residence is in West Palm Beach Florida, where she gave birth to her first child, Alexis Ohanian Jr., just last month and where she trains in the year-round sunny weather.

According to the listing, the home boasts 'scenic views spanning the entire valley' and a backyard perfect for entertaining with a built-in Wolf barbecue and refrigerator, a pool, and a large grassy area.

Upstairs, the master bedroom has a private balcony with stunning views and a private bathroom with a large tub and walk-in shower.

Other features of the home include a wine cellar, custom cabinetry, custom plaster fireplaces, a yoga room, marble counter tops, and mosaic flooring.

Serena Williams' old home was slightly larger at 6,101 square feet, and one additional bedroom. It's currently listed for $11.995 million. Neither of the homes have a tennis court for Williams to practice on.
